Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

BLIND, Inc. was founded by blind Minnesotans who believe that, given the proper training and opportunity, blind people can lead normal, independent, and fulfilled lives. We believe that blindness is respectable and that with proper training, the average blind person can succeed in his or her chosen field and personal endeavors. We are affiliated with the National Federation of the Blind, which believes that blind people are seeking the same goals as all Americans: independence, self-sufficiency, and satisfying and gainful employment. Blind, Inc. offers orientation-to-blindness training programs with a positive consumer-oriented approach. We have based our programs on a wellness model. We assume that a person, blind or sighted, has dignity and is capable of making competent decisions. We encourage our students to believe in themselves and in their ability to live meaningful and productive lives.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Rehabilitation training in vocational and personal living skills.

Adjustment to Blindness is geared toward adults who want to gain the skills and confidence they need to continue in their present line of work, continue their education, or begin a new career.

Expenses $810,030 · Revenue $897,834
Residential training, an option for persons enrolled full time in the Adjustment to Blindness and Post-secondary Readiness & Empowerment (PREP) programs, provides experience living independently, peer support, and on-site training in home management skills.

Expenses $224,768 · Revenue $106,032
The Buddy Program teaches children ages 9 to 13 that being blind is OK and they can have as much fun as anybody else. PREP is a summer program benefiting high school and college students. It teaches teenagers to learn the skills they need to keep up with their peers and prepares them to attend college or join the workforce. Transition: Employment, Advocacy, Mentoring and Skills (TEAMS) is a transition program for blind high school students ages 14 to 21. It provides students with instruction in the skills of blindness to enable them to reach their personal, academic and scholastic goals. Students work with successful blind, adult role models while interacting with blind peers in educational, recreational and social settings. The Transition Trail Outreach Program is designed to reach students and families who reside outside the metro area by bringing transition themed programming to different areas in the state. Students, families and professionals are welcome to join our mobile learning community as we provide hands-on transition instruction and activities designed to increase student independence and enhance self-confidence.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
